How to Take A Screenshot in Windows
Print Screen
Now you have the screenshot, but where should you put it? It's easy, just go to "Paint" and paste it there. First, open "Paint":
Then press Ctrl+V and paste it in Paint then save. You can edit it in Paint afterwards.
Snipping Tool
In addition to Print Screen, Windows 7 and Window 8 introduced a screenshot application called Snipping Tool. Snipping Tool can be used to capture a screen shot, or snip, of any object on your screen, and then annotate, save, or share the image.
Short Cut For Windows 8
Windows 8 adds a much easier way to take screenshots. Instead of having to use the Print Screen button and then paste into Paint (or a similar application), you can now automatically save a screenshot to the Pictures folder as a png with just the touch of a couple of buttons. Here’s how.
1. Set up the screen as whatever you want to take a screenshot of.
2. Hold down the Windows Key and Print Screen.
3. You’ll find a new screenshot in the Pictures folder in your Library.

How to Upload Images
Now you have the image saved in your computer or laptop, how to upload it so that you can share with everyone or post it in the forum?
For me, I like to use Imgur: http://imgur.com/
Of course, there is other free sites that you can, but personally I like Imgur because you don't have to register (unless you want to keep track of your photos/images) and it's fast.
Since you already have the image saved in your devices, select "Computer" after you enter Imgur.

After you click "Computer", a small window will pop-up, you can select the photo/image from the related folder. You can select multiple image by hold down the Ctrl key, then press the left mouse button. Once you are done selecting the images that you want, simply "Open".
After you click "Open", another new window will pop out, select "Start Upload" to upload your images.
After it's complete, you can select the type of the link that you want. Use the Direct Link (email & IM) if you are planning to message it to your friends; use BBCode if you want to post it on the forum.
